Failures lead to success (#4‪)‬ Thrive On Creativity

I had the pleasure to chat with violinist, composer, and producer Eric Gorfain from Los Angeles. Eric has long focused on bridging the worlds of classical and rock music. His early professional days were spent as a violinist in the recording studios of Tokyo, followed by a stint as concertmaster for Jimmy Page & Robert Plant's Unledded tour, inspiring him to create The Section Quartet, which quickly became an in-demand studio ensemble for rock, pop & rap artists. Along the way he learned the craft of string arranging, contributing his sensibility to albums by a wide range of artists such as Foo Fighters, Christina Aguilera, James Blunt, Kanye West, Sam Phillips, Band of Horses, Def Leppard, Tesla, Sean Lennon, A Perfect Circle, Cassandra Wilson, Snow Patrol, Neil Diamond, Fiona Apple, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Kelly Clarkson, Banks, Robbie Williams, and REM, just to name a few. Eric has published several rock string quartet arrangements of songs by Radiohead, Coldplay and Elvis Presley, with plans to publish more titles on the horizon. During this episode we talked about the importance of creating routines, having active recovery phases, building resilience, embracing failure in order to succeed, and also about green tea. Enjoy the ride…
